Christie Brinkley turned heads in New York as she stepped out for the gala screening of Brunello: The Gracious Visionary at the David Koch Theatre, proving once again that age is nothing more than a number.

The 72-year-old model looked nothing short of radiant in a shimmering silver suit that caught the light with every movement. 

Tailored to perfection, the structured blazer and wide-leg trousers delivered a modern, androgynous edge, while a sheer blouse layered underneath softened the look with a touch of elegance.

Her signature blonde waves were styled in loose, glossy curls, framing her glowing complexion as she smiled for photographers.

At one point, Christie playfully blew a kiss to the cameras, a moment that perfectly captured her enduring charm and effortless confidence.

The star was joined by her daughter, Sailor Brinkley Cook, and the pair looked strikingly similar as they posed together on the red carpet.

Sailor, 27, opted for a sleek black ensemble with subtle sparkle, complementing her mother’s high-shine look while allowing their natural resemblance to take centre stage. 

With their matching blonde tones, luminous skin and easy smiles, the duo could easily have passed for sisters.

Christie is a mother to three children: Alexa Ray Joel, 40, whom she welcomed with music icon Billy Joel; Jack Brinkley-Cook, 30, whom she welcomed with her third husband, Richard Taubman; and Sailor whom she welcomed with her fourth husband, Peter Cook. 

Sailor is the spitting image of her mom and is following in Christie's footsteps by dipping her toes in the modeling industry. She has worked with Vogue and Sports Illustrated, and even strutted the runway with Christie at the Elie Tahari show during New York Fashion Week in February 2019.

Sailor shared the best tip her mom had ever given her about the modeling industry with People. "Her biggest advice when it comes to being on a set would be just to be as gracious as you can. I always try and introduce myself to everyone in the room. And I always try and acknowledge everyone in the room," she said. 

"Because I mean, my job is almost pretty much the easiest. That's what she taught me, is to really acknowledge my surroundings while I'm in it and not be a diva and have fun with the creatives that I'm working with."
